Following this release, EURUSD experienced an increase, nearing the day’s peak of 1.09547.

Currently, EURUSD is at its highest level in over four months, bolstered by positive sentiment after the German parliamentary party reached an agreement on fiscal reforms set by Friedrich Merz, who is about to take office as Chancellor. These fiscal reforms are expected to stimulate Germany’s economic growth and, in turn, benefit the European economy.

On the other hand, the U.S. economy is anticipated to face a slowdown. This presents a substantial opportunity for further increases in the EURUSD rate.
